For Your Consideration: Rory McIlroy
That's something I've been trying to work on
Rory McIlroy would still be up there ... But Tiger played a practice round and it made news. He's chasing records whenever he plays. How are you not going to write about that? No offense to the young guys.
She had a lesson - not from me, I hasten to add - and by the end was hitting a 7-iron 140 yards
We expected to do a little better but we got the opportunity to play against Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen, all four Majors champions and I think we can take a lot out of that
I played very solid from the first hole, hit two good shots into the 10th and made par there
There's no one that I know of right now (to replace Tiger) ... The PGA Tour keeps throwing names at you, trying out people. Rory McIlroy seems like a good kid, with some charisma. But I don't think Americans will follow him like they do Tiger.
It was very good, a solid round of golf ... I didn't make a mistake. Six birdies and no bogeys is always a nice way to start the tournament.
I’d put the performances from Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke on an equal footing
I was able to handle the wind pretty well today. This is probably the best round that I have played here
It was very good, a solid round of golf, I didn't make a mistake
I suppose I was a little bit surprised at myself how quickly I bounced back from Augusta
There has been a lot of speculation on whether or not I will play the Irish Open next year, so I am happy to announce that I will definitely play the tournament next season ... For me, the Irish Open has always been, and will continue to be, one of the most important events on the global golf calendar.
I've played very, very well this year ... Climbing to number two in the world rankings feels like a big achievement for me, and it would be great to finish off the season well with a good result here.
Luke (Donald) has proved this year that it can be done. He has played on both tours, and he heads the money list on both, as well
Luke Donald has won the money title in America and it looks like barring Martin Kaymer or myself doing something very good in the last couple of weeks, he's going to win the money list in Europe as well
Being a tennis player her upper body is pretty strong
When Caroline and I might discuss our own sport, I am very interested in how she prepares herself for the mental side of big tennis tournaments like how she goes about setting goals or whatever ... That sort of discussion gives me a good insight into how she deals with similar issues I might face.
G-Mac and myself were very disappointed on Sunday night and shooting level-par was not what we expected
More so than looking to stop Luke winning the money-list, I am more concerned about getting another win this year
I certainly hope this will be my year. I have come close twice in Hong Kong, finishing second in 2008 and 2009. Maybe this time I can do it
I will add on a couple more events to my schedule in America next year ... It won't be a drastic change, but I love playing on the golf courses in the U.S.
I am very fortunate that a lot of people know me all over the world, and to have this status is an honor, a privilege and something I respect
From having a great chance at the start of the year at Augusta (US Masters) and not quite getting it done there, I learned a lot about myself and about what I actually needed to do to become a Major champion and I feel I put a lot of that into practice at the US Open
